Image
Without sin, the universe is a Solemn Game: and there is no good game without rules.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Ink is the great cure for all human ills.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Remember He is the artist and you are the picture. You can’t see it, you can't see your true self. So quietly submit to be painted.
C. S. Lewis
Image
God is the only comfort, He is also the supreme terror: the thing we most need and the thing we most want to hide from.
C. S. Lewis
Image
A man whose life has been transformed by Christ cannot help but have his worldview show through.
C. S. Lewis

The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ.
C. S. Lewis

In the truest sense, Christian pilgrims have the best of both worlds. We have joy whenever this world reminds us of the next, and we take solace whenever it does not.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Christian love, either towards God or towards man, is an affair of the will.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Love is the great conqueror of lust.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart.
C. S. Lewis
Image
The human mind is generally far more eager to praise and dispraise than to describe and define. It wants to make every distinction a distinction of value hence those fatal critics who can never point out the differing quality of two poets without putting them in an order of preference as if they were candidates for a prize.
C. S. Lewis
Image
If people knew how much ill-feeling unselfishness occasions, it would not be so often recommended from the pulpit.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We were made not primarily that we may love God, but that God may love us.
C. S. Lewis
Image
God made us: invented us as a man invents an engine. A car is made to run on petrol, and it would not run properly on anything else. Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself.
C. S. Lewis
Image
We must lay before him what is in us not what ought to be in us.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Only real risk passes the reality of faith.
C. S. Lewis
Image
A man who first tried to guess 'what the public wants,' and then preached that as Christianity because the public wants it, would be a pretty mixture of fool and knave
